It never goes that far. Late era just means that you have people running around with crossbows and/or heavy armour. So as far as technology goes, it reaches the point just before gunpowder weapons started to appear on the battlefield. Early era can be compared to roughly classical Greece (a few nations have discovered how to properly work metals, but most are stuck with relatively simple bronze equipment or similar)

Yes it's a great bundle with lot of nice games and u get a -5$ if u have coupons from the December sales.
As u say i have all those games but maybe there are some people that don't
I personally recommend Darksiders and Supreme Commander and Titan Quest

Sure. Buy 8 ones from the top. Or some of them as all are good. While good and worth buying, IMO neither of those is a masterpiece, so don't expect you'll be absolutely amazed with something. No, the remake with better gfx is also not a masterpiece, sorry - I'm still waiting for Manny Calavera remake, maybe they do that one right.

Never bothered with the rest 8 (yes shame on me I don't want to buy Sam&Max) so can't tell about those.

This game is really very stylish and very decent at the start. It has a Warhammer 40k style, great controls, solid and pleasing shooting, a variety of skills and character building. The first mission branch (city) is very pleasing to play.

Hovever, starting with the second mission branch, the game suddenly becomes ATROCIOUS.

It looks like the devs just decided "fek it all" and drank a lot of champagne and vodka and started doing a horrid abomination of a game with infinite respawn of monsters who attack you non-stop every second (literally, no exagerration) and make the things worse and worse all the time, and then the third mission branch is a huge empty space made of empty corridors with guess who? Right, the same infinite respawning enemies: you kill 3, and other 3 are already on their place ALL THE TIME, without any possibility to avoid them, and the more they hurt you, the more of them comes.

TL;DR: buy this game at the sale price, play the missions in the first city, after finishing them immediately delete."

If I do play one though, I tend to like darker games with a post-apocalyptic or dark fantasy art style.

Same here although I don't play them often as I buy them for my wife.
